True. But the problem is not what he wanted to do or what he did, but how he did it.
From what I remember, Kefka didn't have idea how to find the statues. He just waited for Ghestal to lead him to it, while following his orders and acting like a coward.
The reason why I think it's hard to take Kefka seriously, is that he was too dependant on the Empire and Ghestal.


NeoCracker, Sephiroth killed a lot of people on his way to the Crater, including the president of the most powerful company/government on the planet. I think this can be considered as causing chaos.
Not to mention that even the planet wasn't able to stop him(Holy was useless while he was alive).
And yes, the Weapons were a side-effect. But a side-effect caused by him, and that helped him.

Every main-villain caused a lot of chaos on their respective worlds, directly or indirectly. I don't believe there is a single main-villain who "hasn't done anything that makes him stand out" like you said.

And normally, the side-villains have a bigger presence in the story than the main villains. The Empire was more present in the story than Kefka. The Alexandria Kingdom was more present than Kuja too. The same for the Galbadia army in relation to Ultimecia/Edea.
That's something normal.
